Researchers examined companies using the “100:80:100” model, where employees receive full pay for reduced hours while maintaining productivity. Participants reported benefits in both work and personal life. The research examined early adopters of the four-day workweek model across Australian companies through interviews with decision-makers.

The research examined early adopters of the four-day workweek model across Australian companies through interviews with decision-makers. The study found successful implementation depended on clear planning, communication and management support. Researchers found that a 25 percent increase in hourly productivity was not required to maintain performance levels, while clearly defined work-life boundaries contributed to lower burnout and improved employee well-being.















Another needless government intrusion into the labor market which will benefit no one except the slothful. What about those workers who prefer to worker 10 or more hours per week and be compensated for such? What about those companies in services that might require an immediate uptick in hours to meet unforeseen exigencies? That's right, it's all wiped away by the command structure of the state. Answer: leave government bureaucrats who know nothing about the markets or business out of the equation. Mind your own business, government.
